Guitars have been around for a really long time, but no one has ever heard one quite like Julian Lage‘s. The twenty-six-year-old jazz guitar virtuos previously to Bandcamp to release his first instrumental work in 2015, a rich feast for the ears that combined technical complexity and skill with the intimacy of classic guitar. Lage, who has built himself quite a reputiation after being discovered as a prodigy (he is the subject of the 1997 Oscar-nominated short documentary feature, "Jules at 8,"), has released a new single, entitled "Nocturne"; accompanied by a trio, Lage embraces electric nuances in this adventurous track off of the 2016 LP, "Arclight." We are streaming here a track from his previous full length "World’s Fair." Lage will be performing with Margaret Glaspy at the New York Guitar Festival on Thursday, the 25th, before heading off to tour Europe during June and July. – Valentina Rocha
